Bummer - I had no idea the USVI wasn't considered part of the US - I'm
assuming when you say "on the way back in" you mean from the USVI to the mainland since we could try to arrange things to avoid going back to the BVI while you were with us if that made a difference. I don't have any leads on a possible stand-in, but don't really want one either since we've our hearts set on YOU. Hopefully the lawyer can figure out a way to speed things up. As a last resort, maybe we should check with Greg for a replacement since that's who he'll have to bunk with. You have to be reasonably careful about such choices since you will be spending your holiday in pretty close contact with them. It may also be a bit late to find transport to that part of the world; any hope of transferring the ticket in your name to someone else?

Basically, USVI does not work. I could be easily "carded" on the way back in. Apparently, it is well tried and therefore well patrolled way of entry into the US. We are going to try and get INS to speed the process, but basically I am in a difficult position. I no longer have the first job under which the first application was submitted, so I cannot call and say I need the travel permit for business reasons, and although my cheques have been cashed (I think) the travel permit is delayed somewhere. I have no news at all on the second application. Do you know of anyone that you may want to take along instead? One or two spots going....whichever is easiest to fill.
